Microsoft today released to a select few users a SP1 Beta for Windows Vista.

Some improvements include:

  • Removed some of the delay in logging in to your computer, especially domain-joined computers.
  • Overall responsiveness is a lot better. i.e. copying files, resuming from hibernation or sleep mode, etc.
  • A lot more improvements listed here.

All of my desktop computers have been running Windows Vista for some time. In the beginning it was a real trial, because a lot of programs and drivers didn’t work well at all. Quickbooks and Adobe Reader to name two. I must say however, that in the months since Vista has been released, HUGE improvements have been made in program and driver compatiblity. And alot of these improvements have been pushed out via Windows Update. I’m looking forward to Service Pack 1 though, especially if it fixes that annoying “slow copying of files” bug.

    Why? Why in the world do you labor over Vista’s horrible bugs?

    I spent days of work getting my stupid new laptop installed with XP with all sorts of generic drivers (HP didn’t release anything but Vista drivers).

    I would like some good reasons why you wouldn’t use Vista? Name some specific problems you’ve experienced using it.

    Slow file copying problem.

    Everything is just slow.

    Lots of things don’t work–my stinkin’ THUMB DRIVE doesn’t work.

    Try turning down some visual effects, it might speed things up a little… maybe you already have…
